A New Economic Model. Discuss.

Karen spotted this article recently from the New Economics Institute.
Here’s how it starts out:
The critical role for economic theory is no longer simply to explain how the existing system works, but also to explore how the economic system can be changed to become more adaptive and resilient in the face of the challenges of the 21st century, and how it can be more directly designed to support human well-being, in the present and the future. Simultaneous changes are needed, in both the actual economy (how it functions, by what rules, how it can be made responsive to constraints) and also in economic theory.
Well, that hits the nail on the head, doesn’t it?
